Rahmanullah Lakanwal‘s behavior was so disturbing that a local community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, according to emails to the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) seen by the Associated Press.

“Rahmanullah has not been functional as a person, father, and provider since March of last year [2023]. He quit his job that month, and his behavior has changed greatly,” the community member wrote in January 2024.

Minnesota government workers blame Walz for ‘massive fraud’ amid allegations against Somali community

More than 400 current staff members say governor ‘systematically retaliated’ against whistleblowers

By Ashley Carnahan Fox News

More than 400 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) accused Gov. Tim Walz of failing to act on widespread fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers.

The Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, which says it consists of more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, wrote on X that Walz is “100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota.”

IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR THIS SLUT TO MOUTH OFF

“We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports,” the group claimed. “In addition to retaliating against whistleblower[s], Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance.”

Walz’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The group’s claims come as federal prosecutors continue to unravel one of the nation’s largest COVID-era fraud cases.

The Justice Department announced new charges last week against the 78th defendant in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, which prosecutors say involved more than $250 million in stolen funds from a federally-funded child nutrition program and has already resulted in over 50 convictions. Many of the individuals charged come from Minnesota’s Somali community.

The New York Times reported that what initially appeared to many Minnesotans as an isolated case of pandemic-era fraud has broadened into a much wider concern for state and federal officials.

The Times reported that over the past five years, according to law enforcement authorities, several fraud schemes proliferated in parts of Minnesota’s Somali community. A number of individuals allegedly created companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never delivered.

The Manhattan Institute’s City Journal also alleged in a report, citing unnamed federal counterterrorism sources, that some stolen funds were transferred to Somalia and may have ended up with the terror group Al-Shabaab, though none of the federal charges in the fraud cases include any link to terrorism.

Walz addressed the fraud at a press conference last week, saying it “undermines trust in government,” and “undermines programs that are absolutely critical in improving quality of life.”

“If you’re committing fraud, no matter where you come from, what you look like, what you believe, you are going to go to jail,” Walz said.

Walz faced a question about the situation on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, when host Kristen Welker pressed him on the allegations and asked him if he takes responsibility for failing to stop the fraud in his state.

“Well, certainly, I take responsibility for putting people in jail,” the governor responded. 

“I will note, it’s not just Somalis. Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous state, a well-run state. We’re AAA-bond rated. But that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We’re doing everything we can. But to demonize an entire community on the actions of a few, it’s lazy,” he said.

Trump said in a Nov. 21 Truth Social post that he would be terminating the temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota, citing “fraudulent money laundering activity.” 

“Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!” he wrote.

CHICAGO – Chicago police are investigating a fatal shooting late

Thursday in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood.

What we know:

Officers responded to a report of a person shot around 11:53 p.m. in the 5100 block of South Luna Avenue, according to police. When they arrived, they found an unresponsive man on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.

He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. As of Friday morning, he had not yet been identified by the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

A witness told officers that an unknown man approached on foot, pulled out a gun and opened fire before running away. Police said a weapon was recovered at the scene, and Area One detectives are questioning a person of interest.

You don’t have to tell us what Sedition means, we know what it is. Those six Representatives are guilty as charged.

President Trump proffered that six are guilty and will ask the Justice Department to determine if they can be charged with Sedition.

USMCA review offers chance to secure biologic medicine protections that would lower American drug prices

By Andrei Iancu Fox News

Published November 28, 2025 5:00am EST

President Donald Trump will soon have an opportunity to achieve a political and economic victory that he nearly accomplished in his first term, until Congress undermined him at the last moment. 

That opportunity involves the upcoming joint review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the trade deal that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). All three countries will soon meet to discuss how the pact is working and hash out any updates.

During the first Trump administration, as under secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, I worked on the intellectual property aspects of that pact. The president, U.S. Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer, and the rest of the team secured numerous concessions from our northern and southern neighbors to strengthen intellectual property (IP) protections — which help prevent foreign rivals from stealing technologies and designs from innovative American companies, reduce foreign free-riding on America’s investment in innovation and incentivize American firms to boost their research spending and expand into foreign markets.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest concessions — a requirement that Mexico and Canada offer 10 years of “regulatory data protection” to cutting-edge biologic medicines grown from living cell cultures — was excluded from the final version of the agreement at the eleventh hour.

During a regulatory data protection period, rival companies aren’t allowed to use the clinical trial data of a biologic developer to create their own knockoff products. Creating a single new biologic medicine requires years of research and often billions of dollars.

Regulatory data protection essentially gives innovators a better chance to recoup their investments and earn a return — and thus incentivizes them to pour more resources into research and development, creating research and manufacturing jobs in the process.

The United States already provides 12 years of data protection for biologics, and the USMCA wouldn’t have altered that domestic standard. The original draft text of the USMCA would have simply brought Canada and Mexico up closer to our level in order to level the playing field.

TRUMP SCORES FOUR BIG WINS WITH XI BUT HAS ONE BIG MISS

The aim was simple: raise protections abroad, so that foreign manufacturers can’t free ride on American biotech inventors by prematurely introducing knockoff products. That would enable American inventors to recoup their investment on a more proportionate basis in Mexico and Canada — and thus enable them to reduce drug prices in the United States.

But ultimately, that provision designed to reduce foreign freeloading was stripped from the agreement at the insistence of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose support was necessary to pass the USMCA’s implementing legislation through Congress.

Now, though, there’s a new Congress. The second Trump administration would be wise to push for the original terms, which Canada and Mexico had already agreed to, during the upcoming USMCA review. Strengthening regulatory data protection in our neighbors would end the freeloading and help bring lower prices to American patients.

The upcoming review also gives the administration an opportunity to hold our neighbors — particularly Mexico — to the commitments they made but are failing to uphold.

What we covered here

• One National Guard member has died and another is fighting for his life after a targeted shooting in Washington, DC that has added fuel to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

• The suspect, who is wounded, has been identified as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal. In the wake of the shooting, Trump said he will “permanently pause migration from all third world countries.”

• Trump said the administration is looking into whether to deport the suspect’s family, and US agencies have announced reviews of asylum cases and some green card recipients.

Dramatic moment hero National Guardsman takes aim at suspected Afghan terrorist

Disturbing new footage shows the moment a hero National Guard member opened fire on the suspected Afghan terrorist — just moments after the alleged gunman ambushed two troops in a broad daylight attack.

Trump claims National Guard shooting suspect ‘went cuckoo,’ calls reporter ‘a stupid person’

DC terror suspect will have charges upgraded to murder: Pirro

The Lunatic Fringe has gone mainstream. Day in and day out we find Wackos going ballistic. Murdering has become commonplace. Police are no longer needed according to mayors, governors and representatives. District attorneys, public defenders, prosecutors and judges believe in the subway turnstile, in and out.

This is not a U.S. thing, Europe is in the throes of an Islamic takeover. New York just elected Muslim socialist. Check Minneapolis, Dearborn, and you will see the infiltration of these anti Christian groups. Before you know what is happening, they will infiltrate your town government using our liberal laws that protect free speech.

The Trump administration has said it will re-examine green cards issued to individuals who immigrated to the US from 19 countries. 

The head of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, Joseph Edlow, said the president had directed him to conduct “a full scale, rigorous re-examination of every green card for every alien from every country of concern”.

When asked by the BBC which countries were on the list, the agency pointed to a June proclamation by the White House that included Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Somalia and Venezuela.

The announcement comes in the wake of an Afghan national allegedly shooting two National Guard troops in Washington DC on Wednesday, gravely injuring them both.

The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, came to the US in 2021 under a programme that offered special immigration protections to Afghans in the wake of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

President Donald Trump said the shooting underlined a major national security threat.

Edlow’s social media post on Thursday about the sweeping green card review did not explictly mention that attack.

“The protection of this country and of the American people remains paramount, and the American people will not bear the cost of the prior administration’s reckless resettlement policies,” said Edlow.

There were no further details about what the re-examination would look like. 

The June proclamation his agency highlighted to the BBC set out an aim to restrict foreign nationals from entering the US to protect from “foreign terrorists and other national security and public safety threats”.

The administration said security concerns and the overstay rate of business, student and tourists visas were among the reasons for a country to make the list. 

“The Taliban, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) group, controls Afghanistan,” the proclamation said. “Afghanistan lacks a competent or cooperative central authority for issuing passports or civil documents and it does not have appropriate screening and vetting measures.”

Other countries whose green card holders will undergo this examination include Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo and Libya.

The Wednesday attack on members of the US military prompted a forceful response from Trump. 

“This attack underscores the greatest national security threat facing our nation,” the president said. “The last administration let in 20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners from all over the world, from places that you don’t even want to know about. No country can tolerate such a risk to our very survival.”

Last week, the same agency behind the green card review, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, announced a review of all refugees admitted under former President Joe Biden.

On Wednesday, the US suspended processing all immigration requests from Afghans, with Citizenship and Immigration Services saying the decision was made pending a review of “security and vetting protocols”.

Never have we faced a threat that stares us in the face. Today, from all sides we are being brutalized beyond or wildest imagination. College campuses have been infiltrated by our enemies. Many demonstratons have been ifunded by George Soros. Campus takeovers are the norm. College professors teach anarchy, and anti-Constitution diatribe; they continue to preach destruction, murder and bio threats. Many are in bed with foreign sponsors; think Iran, Russia, China and more.

We have seen the “whites of their eyes “ and it’s now time to take aim, be laser focused, and bring our phalanx to the front lines. As we have see in Oregon, Seattle, Minneapolis, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, St. Louis, Detroit, and New York.

Time spins faster than the speed of light, before you know it we will fly too close to the sun, and you know what happens then. For that reason we must be ready, to take up arms. Our adversaries are already planning for more destruction and mayhem. Democrat cities are be over run be killers, New York City is the quintessential example, but look at Minneapolis that is exploding with violence which is spreading into the ‘burbs.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

How many times have we warned the public of the Somali problem. It has now been revealed that these illegals have perpetrated a $6 BILLION DOLLAR FRAUD AGAINST THE USA. Do not take our word for it, but these criminals have engineered one of the greatest scams of the century, and it is still going on.

Case in point, the ex-Wanna be V.P. Walz INVITED MURDERERS INTO THE COUNTRY

Isn’t he the guy who threatened two Supreme Court Justices? Bet your bottom dollar that he is.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor that Trump was explicitly calling “for the execution of elected officials. This is an outright threat, and it’s deadly serious.

“Every time Donald Trump posts things like this, he makes political violence more likely,” Schumer said.

When Donald Trump uses the language of execution and treason, some of his supporters may very well listen,” he continued. “He is lighting a match in a country soaked with political gasoline.”
